It Won't Come Again

Lyrics for It Won't Come Again

I found its head down on Chalcot Farm And seven sisters under plaster palms I followed footprints up to Belsize Park I queued in Aldwych 'til the sky turned dark on all of us I lifted film stock from the studio bins While waiting for John G to let us in I never thought that I would see the day That magic world would just fade away and die on me And it was so sad to see And it won't come again It's a joke to pretend The coloured lights and the groovy clothes They only illustrate that no one knows where it's gone And it won't come again You're a fool to pretend You might look mean with your teardrop axe You think you're cool in your hipster slacks but you're wrong I sat for hours in a plywood booth In my encapsulated search for truth The oh so heavy jelly album hoax It caught me out with the simple folks of seventeen Hey, you know what I mean And it won't come again It's a joke to pretend The coloured lights and the groovy clothes They only illustrate that no one knows where it's gone And it won't come again You're a fool to pretend You might look mean with your teardrop axe You think you're cool in your hipster slacks but you're wrong They took the piss but it still felt good We didn't mind 'cause we understood And now you put it all down to dope I sometimes think that there's just no hope anymore Hey man, wanna score? Yeah, but it won't come again It's a joke to pretend The coloured lights and the groovy clothes They only illustrate that no one knows where it's gone And it won't come again You're a fool to pretend You might look mean with your teardrop axe You think you're cool in your hipster slacks but you're wrong
